What Was I Thinking?!?Whilst in a foreign country, it is recommended to try new foods, learn the language, and alienate as many locals as possible.

I am so super stoked. You have no idea. Beijing was great. We got there Thursday night and had a bitch time trying to find our hostel as it was out in the middle of nowhere. Friday we climbed the Great Wall. There's a Chinese saying that if you haven't ... Read more >

So I'm still alive. I've just been very reluctant to type as I've become super jaded and don't want to upset/jade others with my negativity. Beijing was awesome. Pictures are up (some of them... ran out of bandwidth so I need to delete some of my Germany ... Read more >

I realized how I stopped posting and all so I figured I'd take some time out of my VERY BUSY SCHEDULE to write something. Just kidding. My schedule's full-ish, but nowhere near as busy as I make it seem. It's just a bit like pulling teeth sometimes ... Read more >

November 19th thru November 22nd Marisa, Sarah and I will be in Beijing. We rescheduled our trip, which was going to be next weekend specifically because we heard some of our dork friends were going to be there about that time. Just sayin...

Finally, I have the time (and motivation) to write the entry on National Holiday. I actually really don't have much motivation other than I am super bored, I don't feel like studying, I can't register for winter classes yet, and I'm a little upset (will ... Read more >

So National Holiday had its ups and downs. But we're back and safe and I am oh so happy to shower in a place that forty other people haven't showered in already. I'll fill you all in on all of the details later, but right now I'll give you all just ... Read more >

We're leaving today. I still need to pack, hence me being up at the crack of 6:30 am. I don't know that I will be able to post. I'm still waffling about bringing my laptop or not seeing as we're staying in hostels and I'm not positive that I really ... Read more >

Okay. I'll be upfront. I'm really effin hungover. Like super bad. It sucks. But there's a story behind it. Well, kind of. Basically, it's boring as nuts here. It's National Holiday. WOO! No more teaching! But that also means all of the students leave ... Read more >

For those of you who do not get the reference in my title, please allow me to explain. There is a play called Cyrano de Bergerac. The hero of the story is, you guessed it, Cyrano de Bergerac. He was in love with a pretty lady named Roxanne, but he ... Read more >

HA! You thought I had given up on my blogging again, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!? You know what I'm talking about, coworkers . Not much has been going on . I've been teaching and learning, eating, sleeping, listening to music. Teaching's a pain in the ... Read more >

Fuck roosters, dude. We're in the city. They should not be crowing me awake at 6:30 in the morning. Or at 2:00 in the afternoon. Dicks. Anyways, China's okay. I still feel stupid, but I've been hanging out more and more with Chinese girls, so that's ... Read more >

So it's 1:00 a.m. here in China. I have to post this just because it's a little surreal. We were all drinking and playing cards until about midnight (all being me, Coby, Marisa, and Tyler). Coby decided to be a pussy and went to bed, but Tyler, Marisa, ... Read more >

Hey guys. Just posting to let you know I'm alive, I'm thinking about you all, and I'm doing well. This is the first week we're teaching so it's hectic. I'll give you all the full run-down later. This weekend we're going back to Dalian. I'm hoping to ... Read more >

UGH. I sometimes feel like I'm the biggest idiot in the whole wide world. I know it takes a while to learn a new language, but I feel like I was so much better at German and Arabic. There have been times recently where I just felt like quitting. And ... Read more >

I'm not feeling to well today. I think I might be coming down with something... Just kidding. Those at work should get a good chuckle out of that. It's actually not a hangover this time though, guys. It's allergies. They've been bothering me off and ... Read more >
